You can now run linux under windows. There is no specific software to run but there are some linux distributions which runs from windows natively. There may be linux package compatibility issues but I have not tried it.
If you want to run windows from linux or mac there is a software named Crossover. Have a look at it.

Here are some linux distributions which allows users to run linux from windows. Have a look at them :

crossover is only for mac and it does not run windows on a mac but runs windows applications on a mac

for running windows on a mac there are softwares like parallels and boot camp

for running linux on windows u dont need any software most linux distros are live cds which means u put in the cd and boot from the cd rom u will go into linux (no need to install)

now if u want to go a step more u can try virtual pc that will allow u to run and install linux from windows itsef in the true sense (desktop in a desktop)

Eh...? you run ubuntu as a windows app? I dont think its possible...

Microsoft Virtual PC/VMWare is very good, easy to use. Maybe thats what you mean?

He doesn't mean he runs it as a windows application, but he has installed it as one and can remove via the Add/Remove, as you would do for any other application there. Moreover, it installs on the NTFS partition.

Read up on Wubi.
